Adjustable Height Active Learning Stool for Office Desks and Classrooms, Foam-Padded Backless Wobble Stool with Rocking Motion, Black

Totes love this stool/chair. I accidentally started a trend at work and at least 2 other people have had our company buy these for them. I bought this on my own because I'm a sociopath and I didn't know if I'd like it. 100 bucks seemed steep to me, personally -- definitely not even the batting of an eyelash at the office -- but I liked the sort of all-in design: it's a stool, it's adjustable, it wobbles, it's plastic, it's portable. My cubicle at work is taken up by a big Staples generic L-desk and usually I have at least 1 utility cart with a full system sitting on it that I'm testing, troubleshooting, or developing with. And since I'm at work, I also wanna not be too comfortable -- sociopath, remember -- so I don't want some ridiculously comfy chair because otherwise I'll just sink into it and get lazy. That's my worry, at least. So I had been using a plain box chair, like a modern design of just two cushions in a chair shape between two squares of wood. It worked, not too comfortable, but it couldn't spin, and my back is to the opening of my cubicle, so anytime someone came in to ask a question or talk or tell me something, I'd have to either not turn around, or turn over awkwardly in the chair. I'm 5'9"-5'10", and this is the perfect height for sitting at a desk or extending it up and having some support while semi-standing. I've got an adjustable sit-stand desk thing at work, and this works perfectly in either configuration. My favorite part is also that it lets me pick whatever awkward pose I want to contort my torso while I'm sitting and I can just lean the stool in whatever direction I want. The bottom is a solid hard plastic-y rubber, and has pretty substantial ridges. The seat cushion isn't much, but it's all vinyl and the triangular shape lets you pick whatever seat position you find comfortable. To raise and lower the seat, there are depressed buttons on every "corner" (the 3 triangle corners of the seat), so it doesn't matter how you pose the seat, you'll always have a button to reach with either hand. It's definitely sturdy enough to also just sit up straight and wrap my ankles around the post or rest my toes on the top of the base. So, you can balance, you can sit angled, and you can use it to be a little lazy at your "standing" desk. Also, my favorite part is that when it's depressed all the way down, it fits perfectly under my desk. Like I said, I don't have a lot of room in my cubicle, especially when coworkers come in to talk, so it's great to be able to just quickly scoot it under the desk out of the way, and we can talk and stand at my computer and no more awkward spinning my back halfway around to face people. Also, if I'm sitting on the stool, it's super easy to spin around and I just have to worry about my awkward corners and not the arms of a chair or the back or anything, so I don't have to worry about knocking stuff over or pulling on a dangling cable or cord or anything like that. Super convenient for engineers, developers, researchers, designers, anyone working at an adjustable desk who wants something kinda active, but doesn't wanna sit on a giant beach ball or something stupid like that. Also, since it's all plastic/vinyl, no worries about cleaning/dusting, super simple. And when it's depressed all the way down, despite being a bit heavy, I can certainly carry it no problem with one hand, and if I really wanted, I could easily bring it home in the front seat of my truck. I really appreciate the portability and practical functionality, and again, despite being a bit expensive at 100 bucks, it's well worth it, because it fits pretty much every situation I would want for it. Again, I'm a weirdo, so to me it's like "If you wanna relax, get a couch; if you wanna work, get a stool". I like spinning around, being able to change direction and lean and change height. It doesn't get in the way and it's heavy enough to stay stable and I haven't fallen down yet. Over, yes. I've fallen over, but not all the way down. Plus, I fall over almost every day, even just standing still, so it definitely isn't a result of the stool. Honestly, if I had a home with like an island or counter, I would totally get 3 or 4 of these instead of just a fixed stool, even without the back. If you're a little crafty/handy, I think you could add a back if you really really really wanted, but I just love the idea that these can be table height and counter height, all in one. Don't get too comfortable! Be ready for anything!

——————————————————————— 📝 NOTES: - When assembling the stool, the grey plastic collar that gets pressed onto the underside of the top doesn’t snap into place easily (at least, not for me)—it’s not the type of part that you can tap on with a mallet, either…only a firm PRESS will do, so though I don’t consider myself weak (relatively speaking), what finally did work was when I laid the seat top down on the rug, then sat the collar on top of it, and while supporting the collar to remain upright & level, LAID ON TOP OF IT and pressed my bodyweight into it, FINALLY snapping it on. 😀 🙌 Assembly requires only 3 steps, and the stool comes together in a couple minutes (esp. since you now know to lay your body over the plastic collar, if you can’t snap it on with your hand & arms alone). - Scoot your bum all the way to the back, if you want to be centered over the stool. If you typically like to sit towards the front edge, you’ll be leaning forward, which is fine if that’s what you want, in which case your feet will be on the floor. If you want to rest your feet on the base of the stool, scoot back on the seat, and your center of gravity will allow it. - This stool is built to last! All quality components, and weighted down to provide assurance that unless you really try, you will NOT be tipping over. - The pneumatic mechanism is very responsive, allowing you to smoothly raise & lower the stool in a 9-inch range. I’m just under 5’2”, with a 28” inseam, and I would need the stool at the lowest level to be able to safely keep contact with the floor. Even if you’re over a foot taller than I am, you’ll still have plenty of room for your legs with this height-adjustable wobble stool. - I have no cush in my tush, and find the semi-firm padding on the seat to be plenty comfortable, but because this stool receives mixed reviews on that topic (ie, will it be comfortable to use for HOURS), it’d be best to try one out first, if you have the access & opportunity to do so. - Seat material is easy to clean—a quick wipe is all thats needed, and it comes in different colors, so choose the one that works for you. ——— I would consider this a premium product, and highly-recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a backless stool that swivels. It doesn’t roll, so if that’s a requirement, this isn’t for you, but if you’re like me and enjoy (or need) to rock in your chair, such as when your brain is activated and your body wants to move, this stool will allow you to release that pent-up energy & keep those thoughts flowing (thus facilitating work flow). If you’re a fan of rocking chairs, but wished that it didn’t have a back, this stool is certainly worthy of your consideration. 👍

.El producto está suficientemente resistente. He tenido un poco de molestias en los tendones superiores de los muslos, parece que es por el cambio de posición. Al tercer día estas molestias desaparecieron. El banco es muy resistente y se ajusta a muchas alturas. Me hubiera gustado que pudiese estar a una altura un poco más baja, por ejemplo bajar aún 5 cm más. Hasta este momento, me ha gustado el beneficio a la salud de la espalda.

Serves its purpose of supporting my weight while I perch on it

How I wish I'd bought this in April 2020! This little stool is amazing. You can put it together very easily. It is sturdy and quite heavy, so no fear of skidding or toppling over. I have found balancing/ leaning absolutely fine (I am female, 5ft3). I can feel my core and legs working as I sit.

Good quality and helps my son who’s constantly in the need to fidget and squirm in his seat.

Super Hocker. Ich bin sehr zufrieden damit. Er ist bequem und eignet sich gut für ein mobiles Sitzen. Menschen, die sich gerne im Sitzen bewegen, könnten damit glücklich werden. Ich würde ihn mir wieder kaufen.
